for a while now my screen on the x10 goes brighter and darker while browsing , not by a lot but its noticable and kind of annoying . Im curious if anyone else has this on their phone , i got nothing installed to control brightness its just stock 2.1 os. And its not because of battery since it does it when plugged in.
It's cos of the auto brightness adjustment function. =D
If you need to access it/ turn it off you have to do it through the 'Power Control' Widget
Thanx for the replies ill check out the power control widget. Im just wondering if the random change from dim to bright waste more battery ?

There is a light sensor on the front of the phone that turns the brightness up if there is a lot of light in the room, if there isn't a lot of light in the room the brightness decreases. As mentioned above you can control this auto-brightness function from the Power Control widget.
I wouldn't say it has any noticeable effect on your battery life, unless you always are in very bright environments that would make the sensor turn the display brightness all the way up.
As the title says my screen brightness flickers :O
Is it a big problem ??!?! :O
Usually happens when on low brightness.. the brightness flickers for a few seconds !
Im scared
Hardware issue ??
Thanks for all your replies in advance
Yeah, I got the same problem with mine xperia neo v...
I think ambient light sensor is calibrating or something... I got that flickering around 1 time in day.
Same problem here...on low brightness...
So i'm not the only one facing the issue
Happens only once in a day so it could be what armando101 said
Thanks
it is caused by fluorescent light sources. You can see them flicker too when you capture it with a camera:
Action at 0:40
Phew
Thought something was wrong with my phones LCD
Thanks mate
If you're annoyed by this, try installing SuperDim from the Market. It can lock brightness levels. You need root, through.
Also, don't set the brightness too low with SuperDim or the screen won't turn on when you unlock the phone.
I can confirm that this happens when the light sensor adjusts the screen brightness. If you go to Settings > Screen > Screen brightness, and here set it to max, you will disable the auto brightness feature and the flickering should stop. It will have negative effect on your battery performance though.

Is it caused by the effect I showed in post #5?

im not really sure for my answer, but try it, just remove the auto brightness, because sometimes the sensor are to much sensitive when it become dimmed in the area. just try it nothing will lose if you will try, but you will gain more....
Oh cool
Thanks

how will you disable the auto brightness without having to root the phone?
You can't disable auto brightness without root.
Anyways the app is here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hatcyl.android.Disable_Auto_Brightness&hl=en
I'm using it mainly for games. Really annoying when the screen dims just because your hand covers the light sensor.
I noticed this from the day I bought it but it was only happening while playing games so I just figured it was a quirk in the game. But last night it started happening while web browsing and going through menus. The screen's brightness will increase/decrease at seeming random.
Auto-brightness is off, I had the screen on the lowest setting with IPS+ off and set to performance mode. Is there something in the menus I may have checked that would cause this or is it a bug?
no it's not a bug. I think its called dynamic display quality. some sort of method they use to save battery even more so. its never a drastic change. it does this gradually. I always leave auto brightness off and brightness never more than 20%. I don't even notice mines doing it as much any more. try a reboot just to clear things out. a reboot every now and then is good for the device.
Is there any way to turn it off? Seems strange for it to still happen while plugged in. Only reason I want to turn it off is because I was browsing the web with the lights off and it kept going brighter to where it was hurting my eyes.
Hi, I see there are more and more mods and tweaks designed to help boost battery life. Any efforts like this are really helpful and I'm glad of them.
The biggest use of my battery however is the screen, how about your phone? We have all tried turning down brightness, leaving automatic brightness on etc. but I really think any significant progress that we could make is through changes to how the screen works. Ultimately, I think perhaps the screen resolution and the Sony tweaks like Bravia are too powerful for the size of this battery to cope. Does anyone think something else may be the problem?
I haven't noticed any difference when turning Bravia off. What else could we do?
I use root dim
Always keep bravia engine off ( I dun find any difference to b true)
And I have a brightness bar in notification drawer to adjust brightness quickly
I didn't know about that app, I'll give it a try now. I notice that when you turn down the brightness to around 30% or less that the backlight completely turns off? I bet that is the real killer of the battery.

I use root dim
Below 10% I cant sew anything
It saves battery coz it decreases brightness
What night mode is that it adds a grey shade
Night mode has no effect on brightness
And dim brightness means battery saved
Hi I love this phone but this bug is driving me crazy so this problem still persist I use P10 before and this is also why I hate huawei
then now Im using mate10
I hate this auto dim problem on certain apps even my auto brightness is off specially when playing games I guess it's automatically save battery on its own. The brightness will reduce itself and fps drops on playing games I already remove those power saving on settings even on configuring apps on settings
do you guyz also have this problem? this is also present on opening facebook,chrome,dialer,etc
please help
